Slade! I'm not gonna let you continue destroying people's faith in justice.
Made of steel, or just a man? You can't be both. (shoots at Clark, bullets ricochet off him) So it is you. (Slade presses a button on the wall, kryptonite-lined wall surrounds Clark)
What are you doing? I need to get you out of here!
This whole place was built for the express purpose of containing your kind. And your weakness was the hardest to learn. You see? You're not above the law. You're not even above me.
How can you be so determined in seeing us as the enemy, instead of working with us. Look... let me save you. You'll never get out!
I know, but it's worth it. To destroy the single greatest threat to democracy, no civilian in this country should be more powerful than the law. That's what keeps the order. That's what keeps us strong.
Shut it down. Let me help you.
I'd rather die for my country than be saved by an abomination like you.
You asked me a question. I guess you'll get your answer. I am man and steel.
